"Why would the US let its ally (some
would say puppet) Saudi Arabia back ISIL, a terrorist group so extreme
that it horrifies even al-Qaeda? Why has the US tacitly allowed the
Saudis to wreak havoc in Syria and Iraq by arming terrorists whose
viciousness makes Osama bin Laden look small by comparison? And why is
the US standing by as the Saddam loyalists and ultra-terrorists overrun
Iraq, threatening to destroy it as a coherent, unified state?"
